Pancreas Momager (Coral) T-Shirt

A Pancreas Momager [mahm-a-gerr] is a strong, brave, loving, and resilient mother who manages her Type 1 diabetic (T1d) child’s broken pancreas. Her child makes little or no insulin at all due to an autoimmune disease that caused his or her body’s immune system to attack the insulin-producing beta cells in their pancreas. She treats his or her high blood glucose (BG) with insulin, either by injection or pump, and low BG with fast-acting carbs – and that is just the bare minimum requirements of managing this life-threatening disease. She most likely has exchanged a traditional career for this one where she is on-call and on-duty 24/7/365. Type 1 diabetes is relentless and every day is a different challenge on its own. So, this Mother’s Day, give her a break and pour her some wine or coffee. Lots and lots of coffee. Follow @type1diabetic_life on Instagram for new products, giveaways, inspiration and motivation.
